I always tend to have eggs at home. So, if you are having some guest coming home, and you wanted to make a quick tasty side dish, this is the one you need to make. And quickly serve with some hot basmati rice.

I made this egg masala long back when some of my friends came for lunch with my favorite Hyderabad Lamb Biryani. It was drafted for a long time in my list to post, thought this is the right time to post it because I did not pretty much cook anything for past one week. The masalas in this egg roast are finger licking good. Eggs are the best friend for bachelor cooking I guess, easy to make it for a side dish. So, if you wanted to make it special with a comfort lunch without much of work and grocery shopping Then go for this!

Hard boil the eggs by boiling the eggs – Boil water, add a tsp. of salt, add eggs and cook for 10 mins in medium flame. Once done, add them to cold water and set aside for 5 mins, make a small crack using a knife or just cracking in a nearby object and remove the egg shell carefully. Do not cut the eggs, but just give a quick 4 slits on the eggs but not chop them. this will make the masalas go on into the curry.

Now add the chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, pepper powder, garam masala and mix well. Saute it well for 2-3 minutes to raw masala. Now add the eggs and then add ½ cup of water and make it boil in medium flame closed for 2-3 minutes.

It will reduce into an onion tomato pasty consistency and will ooze out oil on sides.

10 Minute Egg Masala Toast – – THE BEST quick and easy recipe for egg lovers! All you need is Milk, bread and eggs.

This masala toast is a great recipe for evening snack or perfect for morning breakfast. I would say it is almost similar to the French toast but this is a savory version of it. The bread is dippen in a masala egg mixture and toasted on a griddle pan.

You can use any kind of vegetable with eggs, I used the classic combination of onions, tomato and capsicum. You can always skip even the onions, tomatoes mint and bell pepper. You can even add parsley to this or even grated carrots. In my mind this is quick recipe when you have guests at home, and you just want to make something quick but palatable. This is the best to make as evening snakc or breakfast recipe. It is totally customizeable. This egg will just nicely coat on bread. You will most probably have milk,bread and egg at home always. So, this is perfect savior always. This is also kid friendly. Is that not perfect ?!

I made this for my friends before a month on a morning on a long weekend when they came from Ottawa. I wanted to make something quick for all of them. So, I just made this and they all loved it. Me happy 🙂 as always. I did not slice off my sides from bread because I like my bread sides. The bread I used was sesame bread. I once had it at my work place so got that week then never went there to that store to buy it. I am lazy to go all the way to that shop just to buy sesame bread. But will most probably go this week or next week to buy for my boyfriend as he loves this sesame bagel, he should probably like sesame bread too.

Got some rice and eggs? Turn them into famous scrumptious one pot meal – Egg Biryani.

One of the famous Indian one pot meal biryani using hard boiled eggs. It has amazing flavors. Biryani has become one of my all time Sunday recipes. I guess I have posted 4 biryani recipes – Lamb Biryani, Shrimp Biryani, Paneer Biryani and Vegetable Biryani. Now this is the fifth one! We can make the Biryani and just have it with no Eggs also. It still tastes great.

I used to frown to prepare biryani before 4 years. I thought it was a big thing, and it is best had only in restaurants. But now 🙂 it has become a part of my Sunday lunch. It took about an hour to prepare. But on weekends, it is fine and also we don’t need to prepare side dish for this. It is great to have with any raita 😉 and especially with garlic raita. I blended the masala and all ingredients and then cooked the rice and masala together and topped the fried masala egg on it.

Now take a big pan, add oil or ghee in medium heat, add the spices (cardamom, bay leaf, cinnamon, cloves), and then add the tomatoes and grinded paste and sauté them till the tomatoes are not raw and little mushy.

Now add the yogurt, chilli powder, biryani powder and mix well. I always move the skillet away from the heat when adding yogurt which prevents it from curdling.

Now after returning the skillet back to the stove, add the rice and salt and water. (Quantity of water to be added is for one cup of rice, it is 1.5 cups of water). Mix well and close the lid tight and keep it in medium heat for 10 minutes.

Now add the marinated eggs, fried onions and chopped mint for garnish and keep it in low for 5 minutes.

Drizzle the saffron and milk over the rice and Switch off, and keep it closed for another 5 minutes. They will help the eggs get the masala flavors from rice and vice versa.

Notes

You can skip coconut while grinding and add coconut instead of water while boiling.

Indian scrambled eggs, spicy and loaded with veggies. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or pairs well with rotis or a sandwich filling.

I would say it is one of the Mumbai’s famous and fast selling foods when it comes to street corners and food stalls. It is also called as Anda bhurji, scrambled eggs, Bhurji pav. This will stand out of all the dishes on your dining table. I used colorful peppers to make it look more beautiful.

It has onions, ginger, tomato, green chillis and green red peppers. You can even use peas in these. I have used pav bhaji masala in this recipe. Pav bhaji is a popular Indian chat food in India and this masala is used in this recipe. You can get this masala at any Indian grocery stores. You can replace 2 tsp of pav bhaji masala with 1:1 Red chilli powder and garam masala powder.

It is so easy to make these. And as I always say, eggs are saviors if you don’t have anything or lazy to make a time consuming dinner. They serve best when had in the breakfast. Very healthy! You can also have them with rice and some curry. Or just have it as a snack in the evening with some tea. You can also place them in pita or taco or have it in a sandwich filling.

In a large bowl, break one egg at a time and whisk the egg yolks and whites together until light and fluffy.

To the egg mixture, add the salt, turmeric powder, pav bhaji masala and pepper powder. Whisk well till they all combine well.

Take a wok/ pan on medium heat and add 2 tsp of oil, add the grated ginger, the chopped onions, the finely chopped bell peppers and the green chillies. Sauté those until the onions and peppers are soft and tender.

Now add the chopped tomatoes to it, and then sauté those until the tomatoes are lightly softened but not very mushy.

Now add the egg mixture to it, keep stirring the mixture continuously until you begin the eggs coming together. And also they should have the crumbly texture. Keep stirring or else it may stick to the pan.

When they have cooked completely, add the butter and milk and stir well.

Switch off and Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.

Notes

1. Adding milk makes it not dry.2. reduce the green chilli if you like it not spicy.

If you have eggs at home, this is one of the flavorful luscious recipes that you can make for a quick lunch. If you are having some guest coming home, and you wanted to make a quick tasty side dish, this is the one you need to make. :)! I will always have eggs at home, because I don’t eat eggs much, it always stays there, sometimes I like to have them as omlettes or scrambled eggs 😀 But I even stopped that now . Then why do you get them 😀 is the question I get when I buy them! Ok, I buy them always for my face pack and hair pack :D! I made this egg pepper masala long back when some of my friends came for lunch. It was drafted for a long time in my list to post, thought this is the right time to post it because I did not pretty much cook anything for past one week.

I cooked this in a similar manner to the way I prepared pepper chicken fry. The masalas in this egg roast is finger licking good. When my friend used to make pepper chicken fry before years, I used to just taste the masala and would go WOW! 😀 So, I am sure this is very tasty. If you like egg and spicy food then you will love this recipe. I think eggs have no taste as such and you just have to add the flavors to make it tasty. So this is a perfect egg recipe. Eggs are the best friend for bachelor cooking I guess, easy to make it for a side dish. So, if you wanted to make it special with a comfort lunch without much of work and grocery shopping 😉 Then go for this! The main flavor for this recipe is the flavors of pepper corns, coriander seeds and fennel seeds. If you want to reduce spiciness, reduce the pepper quantity or skip the chilli powder. If you make a simple tomato rasam, sambhar, biryani, pulao for this egg fry 🙂 , that’s a complete lunch. Even it tastes great with phulka. You can make the blended masala and store in an air right container, it’s equally good.

Hard boil the eggs by boiling the eggs – Boil water, add a tsp. of salt, add eggs and cook for 10 mins in medium flame. Once done, add them to cold water and set aside for 5 mins, make a small crack using knife or just cracking in nearby object and remove the egg shell carefully. Cut the eggs vertically set aside.

Meanwhile when the eggs are getting cooked, heat a pan, and fry roast the ingredients under to “roast & grind” until light brown. You will get nice aroma, switch off, allow it to cool and blend into a smooth powder but little coarse. I used my mortar & pestle. So it was perfect.

Gently turn the eggs and add another 2 tbsp of water, cover and cook for another 2 mins and switch off when the masala becomes roasted, garnish with coriander leaves and 1 tsp of lime juice.

Notes

1. This pepper fry is little on the spicy side, so adjust according to your taste. You can add the blended masalas slowly and taste them. Skip the chilli powder if you want. You have green chilli, pepper, red chilli powder, and one broken red chilli. So skip any one if you think it’s spicy for your taste buds.2. You can replace with ginger garlic instead of chopped ginger garlic if you think it’s a big step to do.3. Do roast the pepper masala well to remove the rawness smell.4. Do not overcook eggs as it might become rubbery or hard.
